As our story showed, the three men — Rickey Jackson (18), and brothers Wiley (20) and Ronnie Bridgeman (17) — were sent to jail for something they didn't do. Both Jackson and Wiley Bridgeman are still in prison to this day.

Yesterday, lawyers from the Ohio Innocence Project filed motions in Cuyahoga County court on behalf of Ricky Jackson, who is now 59 years old, to finally free him from prison. The filings for post-conviction relief confirm what Scene laid out in the feature: the only piece of evidence linking the three to the crime — the testimony of a 13-year-old boy — was a lie.
